What was sputnik I?
The first man made object put into Earth orbit.
What is true about an object falling toward Earth?
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
The amount of gravitational attraction between the earth and an object depends on the objects distance from the earth and what else?
The amount of gravitational attraction between the Earth and an object depends on the object's distance from the Earth and the masses of both the object and the Earth. The gravitational force decreases as the distance between the object and Earth increases, following the inverse square law.
What are you measuring when you put an objecct on a scale?
You're measuring one of the pair of gravitational forces between the Earth and the object. The strength of the forces depends on the mass of the object and the mass of the Earth. It also depends on the distance between their centers, but that's typically just the radius of the Earth (the distance from the Earth's center to the surface). The one we read on the scale is the force attracting the object to the Earth. It's what we call the "weight" of the object on Earth. The other force in the pair acts in exactly the opposite direction. That one is the force attracting the Earth to the object. We don't have to measure it because it has exactly the same strength as the first one. Nobody ever talks about it, but if we did, we would have to call it the Earth's weight on the object.
What is the measure of the earth's pull on an object?
The measure of the Earth's pull on an object is called its gravity, which is commonly quantified as the object's weight. This force is determined by the mass of the object and the mass of the Earth, as well as the distance between them.
Which object in the solar system is closest to Earth?
the object that is nearest to earth is moon
Why is it logical to say that the potential of an earth connected object is zero?
It is logical to say that the potential of an earth-connected object is zero because the earth is a large reservoir of charge that can absorb or supply an infinite amount of charge. When an object is connected to the earth, the charges on the object will redistribute until the potential of the object is the same as that of the earth, which is considered zero.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
The force of gravity acting on an object when it is sitting on the Earth is simply referred to as the object's weight. This force is what keeps the object anchored to the surface of the Earth.
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
As an object approaches the Earth's surface what will its acceleration be?
As an object approaches the Earth's surface, what will its acceleration be?
What is an object that crashes into Earth called?
An object that crashes into Earth is called a meteorite.
From Earth why does the moon appear to be the largest object in the sky?
The moon is the closest object to Earth.
